[sdiy] speaking of tantalums...

[rburnett at richieburnett.co.uk]

Yes, high CV density, and also stable ESR over a range of temperature.  
By contrast Aluminium Electrolytics exhibit a rise in ESR at low 
temperatures. Something to do with reduced electron mobility in 
electrolyte when it gets near to freezing temperature I think is the 
explanation?

-Richie,
